Black named school board president

HESPERIA • As part of an annual rite, the Hesperia Unified School District board reorganized at Monday night's meeting, choosing a new president, vice-president and secretary of the board.

The controlling three-member majority locked up all of the positions, with Hardy Black being selected as board president, Anthony Riley as vice-president and Robert Kirk as clerk.

Black has been the board secretary before and Kirk was president last year, until he stepped down from the position in April in an attempt to defuse some of the criticism leveled at him — including from fellow board member Chris Bentley.
